NetJets Layoff

We all had access to any aircraft's information.

A gold mine. Nobody put two and two together?

As I wrote previously, I could only see one side of the equation. I
realized the investment potential, but didn't know the details.

To actually do so would be unethical and perhaps illegal, but I'm still
surprised it didn't happen. When you say "I could only see one
side...", is that because of your position? (would dispatchers have
been able to, had they thought of it?)

One could speculate as to the target business found in the visited city
based on the businesses conducted by the client. Given the potential for
diversification, there really is no way to be certain. I suppose the
flight crew might hear something and could pass it on, but I have no
idea as to the legal issues that could be raised.
Ethically, it's all about money. If I am speculating, based on knowing
that representatives from company A is visiting city X, it is my risk.
For all I know, they could be preparing to sponsor a golf tournament.

The more interesting case is when two execs from different businesses
land within half an hour of each other at a third city, when a deal
between them might move the market.

The stockholders would certainly have an interest in knowing.

Well, you think maybe the management will let them know without having to
blab to the media?




If it's a publicly held company you can't do one without the other.

depending what was in the contract they signed... I'm sure a few lawyers
will be interested in these "voluntary resignations"..

that means they can't collect un employment benefits

These folks will all get unemployment benefits, whether they are
eligible or not.

Remember: The bureacrats who run our government aren't interested in
fixing problems. On the contrary, they depend on more and more people
needing their help, in order to thrive. They therefore have an
unstoppable will (and, sadly, unchecked ability) to bring more people
into their care -- and this provides them with absolute job security.

I've seen the system in action (in Iowa and Wisconsin), and it is a
farce. If it weren't so sad, it would be laughable.

And we ALL pay for it, in the long run.

Then you just aren't answering the forms correctly. One of my duties is
fighting unemployment claims on behalf of our clients. If you answer
correctly and keep your ducks in a row the claims are usually refused when
they should be. I do this for clients in several states. Most states deny UI
claims if the employee quit or was terminated for misconduct.

The biggest mistake employers make is trying to be "Nice Guys" and telling
an employee who is being terminated for, as an example, excessive
absenteeism, "Gee, Jay, we just don't need you anymore."

You don't pay for unemployment benefits, the companies do in the form
of unemployment insurance premiums.

In the long run, as Jay said, we all pay for it, since the cost of those
premiums is passed on to us consumers.

Then why have unemployment benefits at all?

For the same reason we have any insurance - spread the risk.

Joe, as you become more familiar with this group (if some of them don't
drive you off), you will recognize that the same few individuals will
take the original subjects off topic on a consistant basis. :-)
